Random freezes on Intel-based computers
25. On certain hardware combinations with Intel CPU's, you can experience random freezes of your system. In particular the Bay Trail series of Intel CPU's is known to be affected by this.
This can often be solved by sharply reducing the maximum sleep state of the CPU when idle (maximal C-state). Namely from 6 (or 9) to 1.
The price you pay for that is some extra power consumption, which is of course rather annoying for laptops (you'll notice a somewhat higher battery drain speed). But at least your machine should run stable now.

Proceed like this:

a. Launch a terminal window.
b. First check your current max C-state. cat /sys/module/intel_idle/parameters/max_cstate
The output will probably be 6 or 9.
c. Now copy/paste the following line into the terminal, in order to edit a settings file:

xed admin:///etc/default/grub

d. Delete this existing line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“”
Replace it by this line (use copy/paste to transfer it): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“intel_idle.max_cstate=1”
e. Save the changes and close the modified file.
f. Then execute this command line in the terminal:sudo update-grub
g. Reboot.
h. Check the change with this command:cat /sys/module/intel_idle/parameters/max_cstate
The output should be 1 now.

Install ISO-to-USB Burner

Read exfat in Ubuntu and Linux Mint

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut in Ubuntu) and use the following command to enable the universe repository because this repo contains your packages. Chances are that you already have the Universe repository enabled but no harm in double checking.

sudo add-apt-repository universe

sudo apt update

sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Once you have installed these packages, go to file manager and click on the USB disk again to mount it. There is no need to replug the USB. It should be mounted straightaway.

Install DaVinci Resolve 16.1 in Linux Mint and Ubuntu, Debian

NOTE: smi has not been able to get DaVinci Resolve to work on a Linux Mint or Ubuntu machine yet [20200113]

See this link for instructions relevant to Ubuntu and Linux Mint, to create a .deb and install. Scroll down to “Install professional video editing software DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1 in Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS”. I've digested these instructions here:

sudo apt install libssl1.0.0 ocl-icd-opencl-dev fakeroot xorriso

Download the latest DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1 for Linux and extract it in your home folder (scroll down to the end of the page for the download button)

Download The MakeResolveDeb script and extract it in the same folder where you extracted DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1.

Run the MakeResolveDeb script to create the DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1 deb package: ./makeresolvedeb*.sh lite

Now you can install the DaVinci Resolve 16 or 16.1 deb on Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other Debian/Ubuntu based Linux distributions using Ubuntu Software, Gdebi or the command line: sudo dpkg -i davinci-resolve*_amd64.deb
